 ## Router Options
 
-It is possible to set default [vue-router options](https://router.vuejs.org/api/interfaces/routeroptions.html).
-
-**Note:** `history` and `routes` options will be always overridden by Nuxt.
+It is possible to cutomize [vue-router options](https://router.vuejs.org/api/interfaces/routeroptions.html).
 
 ### Using `app/router.options`
 
 This is the recommended way to specify router options.
 
 ```js [app/router.options.ts]
-import type { RouterConfig } from '@nuxt/schema'
+import type { RouterOptions } from '@nuxt/schema'
+
+// https://router.vuejs.org/api/interfaces/routeroptions.html
+export default <RouterOptions> {
+}
+```
+
+#### Custom Routes
+
+:StabilityEdge{title="custom routes"}
+
+You can optionally override routes using a function that accepts scanned routes and returns customized routes.
+If returning `null` or `undefined`, Nuxt will fallback to the default routes. (useful to modify input array)
+
+```js [app/router.options.ts]
+import type { RouterOptions } from '@nuxt/schema'
+
+// https://router.vuejs.org/api/interfaces/routeroptions.html
+export default <RouterOptions> {
+  routes: (_routes) => [
+    {
+      name: 'home',
+      route: '/',
+      component: () => import('~/pages/home.vue')
+    }
+  ],
+}
+```
+
+#### Custom History (advanced)
+
+:StabilityEdge{title="custom history"}
+
+You can optionally override history mode using a function that accepts base url and returns history mode.
+If returning `null` or `undefined`, Nuxt will fallback to the default history.
+
+```js [app/router.options.ts]
+import type { RouterOptions } from '@nuxt/schema'
+import { createWebHashHistory } from 'vue-router'
 
 // https://router.vuejs.org/api/interfaces/routeroptions.html
-export default <RouterConfig>{
+export default <RouterOptions> {
+  history: (base) => process.client ? createWebHashHistory(base) : null /* use default */
 }
 ```
